National Geographic Live brings our Explorers from the field to your city, live on stage. Travel alongside the greatest animal athletes on massive migrations across the globe with ecologist Lucy Hawkes.
Every year, billions of animals migrate in search of food, water, or a mate. Ecologist Lucy Hawkes has scoured the ocean, land, and sky to investigate the astonishing stories of animal perseverance. Join her for a peek into landscapes where some of the planet’s most notable animal athletes move and shake, and follow their beautiful, massive migrations across the globe.
ABOUT OUR PARTNERS: Feiro Marine Life Center has been a fixture on the Port Angeles waterfront for over 40 years, inspiring curiosity and wonder for our local marine environment through exhibits, programs and community outreach. Feiro and NOAA Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary are coming together to create a new Marine Discovery Center adjacent to the Field Arts & Events Hall – an innovative and immersive facility that will reach millions of visitors, empower the next generation of ocean stewards and contribute to global research. Fundraising for this center is ongoing, recently reaching 68% of construction costs, with construction estimated to start in mid-2026.
